Canada Re-Imagined

Is Canada one of the best places on earth to live? 

Absolutely.  But...

Sadly, the entire planet is heading for trouble, and Canada is not immune. Climate change, poverty, tribalism… warning signs are everywhere.  

Canada Re-Imagined will look at these and other intractable problems, finding hope and inspiration in unanticipated places. 

Futuristic, utopian, factual, heretical, humorous… Canada Re-Imagined.

  1. Finale: A New Commonwealth

    Sunday, December 10th 2023

    A new Cold War is underway.  The U.S. is in chaos.  Climate change is already upon us.

    This is the final episode of Canada Re-Imagined. Peace be with you.
